Here the lens scans the scene to provide the viewer with elements of a scene that can not be included in a wide angle shot. It can follow a moving object. Panning should be smooth. Adjusting the tension and and drag on your tripod head will insure a smooth pan
Tilt- The movemnet of the camera head up or down is called tilting. Tilting the camea up can show height and tilting it down can show depth. It can also show relationships, for example, the tilt of the camera from a man standing on a rocky ledge with a coiled rope on his shoulder to a man standing alone at the base of the cliff presents the situation.
Tilts can also generate emotional responses, tilting the camera upwards can cause feelings if rising interest, expectation, hope or anticipation. Tilting downward can lower interest and create feelings of disappointment or sadness.
